Seattle is the poo poo but for jobs I dunno. There's Microsoft, Nintendo and Boeing but none of these are actually in Seattle (two in Redmond where I grew up and one in Renton). I don't know what exact type of company you want to work for but unless it's one of these three there aren't too many other big games in town.

Don't forget the rapidly imploding biotech sector!

the strange thing is that retail pharmacy (i.e. CVS) is considered by all of her peers as the "poo poo option," but it pays better than working in "Clinical" pharmacy, like 120K vs. ~100K.

Its the poo poo option because you have to deal with the general public. Ask a retail pharmacist what their biggest headache at work is and they will tell you "customers".

It's kind of nice to know we have an unseen audience reveling in our misery.

I consider myself one of those unseen watchers. Its like a train wreck in slow motion.

Was that the first Scantron test you ever took or something?

I've taken some Scantron tests that let you use blue or black ink.

I Am Not A Lawyer but I can say I've enjoyed Pinche Tacos while drunk in Denver.

edit: I cannot speak for their authenticity, however, as I am not familiar in the study of the One True Taco
